Diurnal or nocturnal



So, are these funny little fat tailed gerbils diurnal or nocturnal? Ours are definitely nocturnal, although I heard from a friend, that hers is awake during the midmorning as well. Our two fat tailed gerbils get up at dusk and they are very active throughout the night. They love their wheel and I am wondering how many miles they run in a night... My daughter likes to take our fat tailed gerbils out of their cage during the day and they don't seem to mind very much. They are just very sleepy and the gerbils might fall asleep in my daughters hand.
